A Weekend of Woods and Wildflowers

I went for a hike this weekend at a nearby state park. So many flowers in bloom!

I haven't identified these two yet:

I have found one of my new favorite wildflowers! It's a Deptford Pink (Dianthus armeria). It's not native, but is naturalized. So delicate and vibrant! (See below)Mother nature is the best gardener! :)

I'm Bri. I am currently a student in the Landscape Design and Landscape Horticulture programs at Oakland Community College in Michigan. Once I acquire these degrees I plan on furthering my education - Michigan State University, perhaps?

I love visiting greenhouses, botanic gardens, and nurseries, though I try to limit my visits because I can NEVER seem to leave without making a purchase.What better career for me to pursue than one that allows me to be outdoors and to be creative?
